Are democrats critical of Biden's cognitive ability too or are both sides hypocrites?

I am, but I also think he's got a stutter, which causes it to be overplayed sometimes.

When I've heard Biden talk off the cuff he seems cognitively just fine, which is the biggest difference. He's always had that stutter, and a reputation for "gaffes" going back decades. But his "gaffes" are just impolitic comments, which who really gives a fuck about? I like his authenticity

I definitely am but I'll probably have to vote for him anyway so like fuck me, i guess

I love how all the responses are like, 'Yeah, of course.'

You silly billy.

The point is that neither man is likely to have a cognitive condition that would affect their presidency.

It’s hypocritical because the Republicans constantly attack Biden for similar gaffes despite the fact Biden is pretty much just like Trump when it comes to mental acuity.

Do I think trump has completely lost his marbles because of one gaffe? No.

In the same way Biden is just as coherent.

Both men being relatively equal on this the distinguishing factor then turns to the fact that one has said they will be a literal dictator and the other likes ice cream and capitalism.
